In addition to the gallery presentation, MU will host a special evening on Friday, February 26th in Eindhoven. Four great title designers, Olivier Marquézy from Studio deubal (Paris), Nic Benns and Miki Kato from Momoco (Londen) and Balder Westein from ThreeDoubleYou (Amsterdam), will talk about and present their best work.

“It happened at exactly the right time,” says title designer Kyle Cooper, when we asked him to give his perspective on the impact of his seminal title sequence for the 1995 movie Se7en. “It kind of set a record.”

Johnny Kelly directed the brand-new short, but super cute stop motion animated title sequence for one of Holland's longest running youth TV shows "Het Klokhuis" (The Apple Core). The apple models used for the animation were built using the latest 3D printing technology.

Liron Damir created a short 3d main title that emulates stop motion animation for a documentary feature about the history of the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.

“A writhing mass of bodies trying to escape from the never-ending ether,” says Rob Rugan, creative director of Superfad, about the concept behind the main title for '13'. This is the first main title created for a web series that really made an impression on us. “A good bit of the style came from looking at classical sculptures.”

In part one of our interview with Kyle Cooper, the acclaimed title designer discusses typography, his love for the imperfection of handmade things, and his main titles for Darkness Falls, Se7en and Spiderman 2.

Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) marked Godzilla's 50-year anniversary in the movies. Kyle Cooper's title sequence pays tribute to the various incarnations of the monster over the years. The relentlessly fast-paced title sequence oozes destruction.

The DC Comics superhero character Green Lantern originated from the 1940s, was re-invented during the Silver Age of Comics, and recently starred in an action-packed animated feature, Green Lantern: First Flight. The opening titles were done in a black and green motif "to match the Green Lantern's colors." They were designed by L.A.-based motion designer Castleforte, a self-proclaimed "huge" comics fan.

Suspect created the stop-motion animated opening and end credit sequence for a short film titled The Wilde Ones - a film that pays tribute to Richard Wilde's inspiring leadership as chair of the BFA Advertising and Graphic Design Department of the SVA in New York. “Our team created a landscape that felt as if someone had crafted it from scratch. Each piece of material was something that was found around the office," explains creative director Hoon Chong.

It's not all Hollywood here at Forget the Film, Watch the Titles. From time to time we like to feature a main title that was created on a very small budget. The Blue Horse is an independently produced Dutch thriller. Its main title is slightly reminiscent of Stephen Frankfurt’s opening title sequence for “To Kill A Mockingbird”, but only in the sense that it's a table top shoot and the title is revealed by a child drawing with a crayon.
